Scott, I understand your frustration
If you are so convinced about the demise of SEM , which you are, are you?, then why not get out of it and post jubilant posts like shorts do. If you are in it and complaining for industry wide slowdown, then well what are you waiting for?
OK, so if KLIC is the key to the well know P,NP problem (sounds like another minesweep game - see CNET) then all other companies don't matter.
Are you long, short on side, can you please tell me if possible so I can take your messages in that context. Sorry if this is repeat. Numbers below do look very volatile especially Q3 looks stuffed on top of Q2.
Best luck.
